Learning can expand one’s knowledge over a period of time.2. The chief danger of learning is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity.

Unit 1 AdvertisingPart A: Comprehending the text1.to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers to sell their products.… we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it.2.visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern//study thefascinating sea creatures of that area.… use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course; visit the less adventurous places of interest ( in an air-conditioned vehicle) such as a local lake.… around Lake Tali.… the accommodation “units”.… the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money.3. small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean.… dangerous because of the many sharks.… there is no water in it.… it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true.… Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be traveling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaning of money lasting longer as things are so cheap.4. to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information froman independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part C Interpreting the text1.The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases,“legalized lying”. The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very misleading --- and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth.2.Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to go onany tours.3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies ----simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) --- it does not actually say that they don’t have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say that are sharks, etc.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problemthat is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “special offers” on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsBrochure Newspaper______________________________________________________________________________A Once in a Lifetime Holiday A “Never-To-Repeated” Holiday(This means sth very special – so (This means it only happens once because Layout special it cannot ever be repeated.) it was so bad you would never do it again.)A Holiday for All the Family A “Holiday” for Nobody_______________________________________________________________________________ sea creatures sharksbrand-new half-builtcooled blastedrare They don’t existIt omits any details of the size, etc.Choices of of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tali).Information No mention of having to wash ina small stream (i.e. no plumbingor washing facilities in the hotel)._______________________________________________________________________________ … you won’t have a penny more A “Holiday” for Nobody --- the invertedto pay! --- The exclamation mark is commas indicate that the writer feels thesupposed to show the reader what a word “Holiday” is not the correct word.wonderful deal she/he is getting with The “ Beauties of Bantu Island” --- againthe holiday. The inverted commas suggest that “Beauties”does not describe the reality of the Island.“ Air-conditioned”, “back-to-nature”, Punctuation “resort”, “lake”, etc. All these show thatthe writer does not feel the words are beingused with their usual meaning andconnotations._______________________________________________________________________________填空：(Page 10 )Come and eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing “French Kitchen”Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu.The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember/cherish.Our highly-trained/professional/friendly and experienced/ knowledgeable/polite staff will be delighted/pleased/thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable/inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you.Don’t delay/wait.

You won’t be disappointed/sorry.Anybody who is thinking of going to the new “restaurant”called the “French Kitchen”, don’t think again.I was tempted by the advertisement in this newspaper last week. Unfortunately/Regrettably,I can honestly/truthfully/really say that I was very displeased by mydecision.To enjoy the“magnificent view” of the ocean, you would need to lean at least a meter out of the window and peer round the building next door. I’ve seen a better/more impressive/wider/more tempting selection of dishes in my local fast food restaurant and much more polite/friendlier staff in an army training camp. As for the “reasonable/inexpensive”prices! My bank manager will think that I bought the restaurant when he sees my account. It’s true that they were a “surprise”, but definitely not “pleasant”.Don’t go. You will certainly be disappointed.Unit 2 SchooldaysUnderstanding the textPart A: Comprehending the text1. F2. F3.

Unit 2 Schooldays: An Effective Education SystemUnderstanding the textPart A: Comprehending the textPart B: Interpreting the text1. Why, in paragraph 2 of the debate speech, does the speaker describe failing an examination as being like a "death sentence"?These exams "decide their .futures" and the penalties .for .failure are ".final". Also look at speech paragraph 6 -- the "threat of being a .failure .for life" is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2. Why does the speaker mention the labour market in paragraph 4 of the speech? The labour market does not urgently need "newly qualified people ". There is no "hurry"; the situation is not critical.3. Why does the speaker introduce such exact figures in paragraph 7 of the speech? To compare the large number of lessons ("17,745") with the tiny result ("how little I knew at the end ... ")and also to say that "40-minute pieces of learning" and "little pieces of 9eography or history or biology" do not really add up to any substantial body of knowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics ("17,745 lessons") do not really prove that the results are good.4. What does the word "subjected" in paragraph 7 of the speech tell us about the speaker's attitude towards his own education?The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject -- and the education system was the "boss". The results o.1~ the child's subjection were not good. Also look at speech paragraph 8 again: the system "can never be called e. efficient"; it simply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing your skillsPart A: Using reference markersCircle the letter of your choice.1. c)In the text, "schooldays" is related to "remember" -- "schooldays" is the object of "remember"; "them" is also the object -- of the second verb "remember". The pronoun "them" means exactly the same, in this sentence, as the noun "schooldays"2. b)Here, "it" is connected -- or linked -- to "this question" by the word "as". And "as it exists in Britain" specifies that the discussion is limited to present-day Britain.3. c)This is more difficult: those refers, here, to the "school children" mentioned in the previous sentence! So the link -- or the connection -- is more distant. All the words in this phrase give clues to the link: "but", for example, is very important here because it indicates a limitation on what is being discussed. (The teacher might wish to point out that there are many small words which are very important in English --and "but" is one of these. A useful class exercise can be given in which each student-- or perhaps pair of students -- creates an original sentence in which "but" is an essential part. Y ou can emphasise that, although the word is "simple", it is often very important indeed in communication. )4. a)Here we need to go back to the subject of this long sentence -- namely " parents" !Find and circle five more examples of reference markers in the text. For e ach marker, draw an arrow to the part of the text it refers to. Compare your examples with those of a partner.·"But" (speech paragraph 4, line 26) does two jobs. It refers back to the whole subject of exams and pressures; it also signals that there is going to be a change of direction in the whole discussion.·"It" (speech paragraph 4, line 32) refers back to the "problem" if children "suddenly stop reading" -- and the paragraph goes on to say that this is not really a problem. ·"So" (speech paragraph 4, line 36) is another small but very important linking word. Often -- as here -- it is used to "wrap up", or conclude, an argument.·"If" (speech paragraph 5, line 38) introduces a hypothetical situation. It raises the idea of imagining big changes and new conditions. Again, it's a small word 'with many uses.·In speech paragraph 8, ".for example" is perhaps a more simple instance of linking: here the inefficiency of the "present system" is shown clearly by the example -- i. e. it "takes up to 11 years" to produce even basic results.Part B: Using discourse markers1. I've been really busy this week with five assignments to complete. However/Yet last week was easy as I only had one to do.Function: showing contrast2. Although there are some minor disadvantages, on the whole / in general / generally s peaking / overall, I prefer studying at university to secondary school.Function: generalizing3. Nobody is allowed in here except / except for / with the exception of the principal and the most senior members of staff.Function: introducing exceptions4. Y our progress seems to have been variable. Some assignments are OK, but as for / as regards your last written assignment ... it was a complete disaster!Function: focusing attention5. I've finished all my assignments so / and so / so now I can go to the cinema this evening and relax.Function: showing logical sequenceExtending your vocabularyPart A: W ords to note1. His carefree attitude sometimes makes people think he doesn't take his studies seriously enough.2. I really find the fact that so many students have copied this assignment totally intolerable. This is cheating!3. He seemed very receptive to my suggestion that he should focus more on his basic language skills.4. As this is a compulsory course, it is not possible for you to drop it.5. The consequences of cheating in an examination are usually very severe. In any case, anyone who cheats will fail.6. Clearly, the more motivated a student is to learn a language, the more successful he or she will be.7. I am appalled at the very high failure rate of the course! Everyone should pass.8. The student was frantically trying to remember where he put his textbook. He needed it immediately to complete his assignment.Part B: Expressions。

Unit 1你脑海中的声音你要是想找到只说说“耐克……想做就做”之类的话便可挣钱的职业(如果它也能算一种职业)，大概你只能选择做一名配音艺术家了。

听起来这是最轻松的职业，其实做起来困难重重。

多数情况下，即使说这几个简单的词也需要大量经验的积累、认真的思考以及不懈的努力。

有时，为了确保目标观众能清楚地理解这些话的原意，需要花上好几个小时。

这是因为所有的交流，尤其是借助媒体的交流，很大程度上取决于你说话的方式(而不仅仅是说的内容)。

令人惊讶的是，声音在交流、甚至在可视媒体中，居然扮演着如此重要的角色。

在可视媒体，比如电视、电影中，导演和制片人有时甚至建议观众用耳朵看、用眼睛听。

让我举例说明。

想想电影“侏罗纪公园”，对，就是那部关于大恐龙的热门电影。

片中电脑制作的大恐龙如此逼真，以至于你不得不反复提醒自己，事实上它们不过是电脑制作的形象。

现在，试着想象看同样的恐龙画面，而没有配上令人胆战心惊的咆哮和尖叫声的效果。

如果有机会，你可以关掉声音，欣赏这部电影的一个片断，我敢保证它们一下子就会变成滑稽可笑的假东西——就像屏幕上的儿童玩具。

正是恐龙那沉重的脚步声告诉我们的大脑我们看到的是一个庞大、笨重的动物；当大翼龙俯冲下来想抓走男主人公时，正是它那大翅膀扇出的嗖嗖声让观众觉得它异常庞大。

没有声音，这些形象便是……枯燥的、乏味的；有了声音，它们一下子就变得活灵活现。

没有任何其他行业比电视广告界更关注声音的地位。

当我们看电视，特别是插播的商业广告时，会被经过仔细挑选的图像和声音狂轰滥炸一番。

这是因为有人想向我们推销某些东西——无论是冷饮、汽车或是去热带小岛的旅行。

当时我们也许意识不到，但在潜意识里，我们其实已经注意到并记住了广告所传递的信息。

当然，广告的效果，即广告中信息的“力量”，取决于很多因素，但为传递信息而选用的声音毫无疑问是最重要的因素之一。

随着世界日渐缩小，产品和服务日益全球化而非区域化，广告商们正面临着一个新的挑战：如何把原本为某一目标观众设计的广告信息传递给另外的观众。

Unit7 学语言的快乐一天里随便哪个时刻，来自全球几乎所有国家的很多人正在学习某一种新的语言。

学习的原因也许各不相司。

有的纯属兴趣，有的是为出国准备，而有的是找工作需要。

还有的纯粹由于语言是中小学、大学必修课。

不论出于何种原因，所有学语言的人都会感受到掌握一门语言的酸甜苦辣——而这总会让初学者不时处境尴尬。

就在上周我乘出租车去拜访一位朋友，决定试一下我近来学的几句广东话。

我凑上前去，拍了下司机的肩膀，告诉他去“四号公寓大厦”，我同事的住处。

司机的脸一下子白了，刹住车，大惊失色。

后来我才知道自己把“四号公寓大厦”的声调搞混了，说成司机已经死了。

学一门新的语言不只是多背单词和语法规则那么简单。

一个字，一个表达法的意义主要看它使用的语境。

同一个字用在此处恰如其分，在彼处可能牛头不对马嘴。

这可能就是用错了，还可能十分无礼。

更复杂的是，语言是个活的体系，老在发展变化。

字的意义变得极快，变得大多数人辨不出它们的字面意思。

英语的词汇丰富多样，习用语层出不穷，发音规则复杂，对初学者难度尤大。

母语不是英语的人完全可能因说话的语调错了显得态度粗野，得罪别人。

我们讲话的方式往往流露出我们的心境、个性、对听话人的态度以及我们说话时的心思。

说话人很容易就向听者发出错误信号，无意中造成尴尬局面。

一位西班牙人最近来我家吃饭，我妻子忙了一天备了一顿美餐。

吃完饭客人说饭菜“挺不错”。

我妻子一听这话就不愉快，认为客人很没礼貌。

而"quite"这个字有“非常”和“有点”的意思。

客人是说这顿饭菜非常不错，我妻子却理解成还可以!还有个问题是，不同国家的人对事物或人的名称的态度不同。

有人认为名称极为重要，而其他人却认为名称不过用来指人代物，方便准确。

其实，三百多年前英国著名作家威廉·莎士比亚就曾说过，“玫瑰换名照样芳香。

”像“foreigner"这个字看似没有什么不好的意思，可用在特定的场合会侮辱别人，伤害别人感情。

According to the first three paragraphs: A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains / help producers to sell their products. It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it. 2. According to the advertisement for Bantu Island: The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern/ study the fascinating sea creatures of' that area. The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course or visit tile less adventurous places of interest ( in an airconditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tall. Wood has been used to make the accommodation "units"The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money. 3. According to the newspaper report onBantu Island: Bantu Island is really only a small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. Swimming around the island would be very dangerous because of the many sharks. The swimming pool isn't very much in use because there is no water in it. The author doesn't believe the stories about Lake Tall because it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. The author says the only reason your money "goes further" is that Bantu Island is a long way away go the money will be travelling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaninq of money lasting lounger as things are so cheap. 4. The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part B: Comparing the texts The Brochure 1 2 3 4 5 6 resort a shallow bay/ island paradise fascinating sea creatures deluxe air-conditioned transport individual, handcrafted units ancient and mysterious lake The Newspaper Article building site beachless bay/ hare rock hungry sharks open-backed jeep wooden huts dirty pondPart C:Interpreting the text1. Explain why the writer believes these two texts provide a "perfect example" of what he is trying to say. The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases, "legalized lying". The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously verymisleading—and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth. 2. Why were the visitors to Bantu Island made to pay for the "tours" beforethey got to the resort? Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not waist to go on any tours. 3. Did the first article give any information that was not true, as opposed to simply misleading? No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies —simply did not tell the whole truth or ,misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) -- it does not actually say that they don't have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say they are sharks, etc. 4. Explain fully what the writer means by the last sentence of the article. We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, "special offers" on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsGetting the writer's purpose Which of the following do you think could be used to describe the tone of the newspaper article? humourous, aggressive, sarcastic Look at the two texts again and make notes in the table below of other examples of each category. Brochure A Layout Once in a Lifeti, me Newspaper Holiday A "Never- To-Be-Repeated" Holiday(This .means something very special -- so (This .means it only happens once special it cannot because it was so bad you would neverever be repeated. )do it again. ) A "Holiday" for NobodyA Holiday .for All the Family sea creatures brand-new cooled Choice of Information rare It omits any details of the size, etc. of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tall).

The "Beauties of Bantu Island" --again the inverted commas suggest that Punctuation "Beauties" does not describe the reality of the Island. "Air-conditioned", "back-to-nature ", "resort", "lake", etc. all these show that the writer does not .feel the words are being used with their usual meaning and connotations. The two articles that follow are from the advertising manager of the restaurant and from a dissatisfied customer. Complete them by filling in the blanks with words or expressions that make the writers' attitudes clear.Come and Eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing "French Kitchen" Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu. The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember / cherish. Our highly-trained / professional / friendly and experienced / knowledgeable / polite staff will be delighted/pleased / thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable / inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you. Don't delay / wait. Book now! You won't be disappointed / sorry. Anybody who is thinking of going to the new" restaurant" called the "French Kitchen", don't think again. I was tempted by the advertisement in this newspaper last week. Unfortunately/Regrettably, I can honestly/truthfully/realty say that I was very displeased by my decision.

As for the "reasonable/inexpensive" prices! My bank manager will think that I bought the restaurant when he sees my account.

Unit1 Advertising:A Holiday of a Lifetime终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处，无论我们在做什么，我们身边都包绕着广告。

有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息，哪儿物美价廉。

制造商利用广告来推销产品，不然生意将会做不成。

其实，曾经有人说过：“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。

”然而，现在的广告是否太泛滥了？可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违，因为大量的广告是误导人的。

我们大多对广告视而不见。

或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛：“广告是合法化了的谎言。

”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子，我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。

我查找旅游指南，并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。

广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。

大学英语创意阅读第2册第2单元答案Unit 2 Schooldays: An Effective Education SystemUnderstanding the textPart A: Comprehending the textPart B: Interpreting the text1. Why, in paragraph 2 of the debate speech, does the speaker describe failing an examination as being like a "death sentence"?These exams "decide their .futures" and the penalties .for .failure are ".final". Also look at speech paragraph 6 -- the "threat of being a .failure .for life" is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2. Why does the speaker mention the labour market in paragraph 4 of the speech? The labour market does not urgently need "newly qualified people ". There is no "hurry"; the situation is not critical.3. Why does the speaker introduce such exact figures in paragraph 7 of the speech? To compare the large number of lessons ("17,745") with the tiny result ("how little I knew at the end ... ")and also to say that "40-minute pieces of learning" and"little pieces of 9eography or history or biology" do not really add up to any substantial body of knowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics ("17,745 lessons") do not really prove that the results are good.4. What does the word "subjected" in paragraph 7 of the speech tell us about the speaker's attitude towards his own education?The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject -- and the education system was the "boss". The results o.1~ the child's subjection were not good. Also look at speech paragraph 8 again: the system "can never be called e. efficient"; it simply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing your skillsPart A: Using reference markersCircle the letter of your choice.1. c)In the text, "schooldays" is related to "remember" -- "schooldays" is the object of "remember"; "them" is also the object -- of the second verb "remember". The pronoun "them" means exactly the same, in this sentence, as the noun "schooldays"2. b)Here, "it" is connected -- or linked -- to "this question" by the word "as". And "as it exists in Britain" specifies that the discussion is limited to present-day Britain.3. c)This is more difficult: those refers, here, to the "school children" mentioned in the previous sentence! So the link -- or the connection -- is more distant. All the words in this phrase giveclues to the link: "but", for example, is very important here because it indicates a limitation on what is being discussed. (The teacher might wish to point out that there are many small words which are very important in English --and "but" is one of these.A useful class exercise can be given in which each student-- or perhaps pair of students -- creates an original sentence in which "but" is an essential part. Y ou can emphasise that, although the word is "simple", it is often very important indeed in communication. )4. a)Here we need to go back to the subject of this long sentence -- namely " parents" !Find and circle five more examples of reference markers in the text. For e ach marker, draw an arrow to the part of the text it refers to. Compare your examples with those of a partner.·"But" (speech paragraph 4, line 26) does two jobs. It refers back to the whole subject of exams and pressures; it also signals that there is going to be a change of direction in the whole discussion.·"It" (speech paragraph 4, line 32) refers back to the "problem" if children "suddenly stop reading" -- and the paragraph goes on to say that this is not really a probl em. ·"So" (speech paragraph 4, line 36) is another small but very important linking word. Often -- as here -- it is used to "wrap up", or conclude, an argument.·"If" (speech paragraph 5, line 38) introduces a hypothetical situation. It raises the idea of imagining big changes and new conditions. Again, it's a small word 'with many uses.·In speech paragraph 8, ".for example" is perhaps a more simple instance of linking: here the inefficiency of the "presentsystem" is shown clearly by the example -- i. e. it "takes up to 11 years" to produce even basic results.Part B: Using discourse markers1.
